Description

THE LAST STAGGERWING BEECHCRAFT G17S — SERIAL NUMBER B-20 The 20th and Final G-Model Staggerwing Produced • Walter Beech Company Aircraft • Oshkosh Grand Champion A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire the last G-model Staggerwing ever produced. Serial Number B-20 holds a unique place in Beechcraft history as the 20th and final G-model Staggerwing manufactured, marking the conclusion of one of the most celebrated aircraft designs of aviation’s Golden Age. Following its completion, B-20 was retained by Beechcraft for a period and used as a company aircraft by Walter Beech, adding extraordinary factory provenance to an already historically significant airframe. Between 1998 and 2002, B-20 underwent an exhaustive 100-point restoration by Blue Max Aviation in San Diego, California. The quality and authenticity of the restoration were recognized immediately upon completion. At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2002, B-20 was awarded: Vintage — World War II Era — Grand Champion As the final example of the ultimate Staggerwing variant, with direct Walter Beech association and an Oshkosh Grand Champion restoration, B-20 represents a remarkable combination of historical importance, provenance, rarity, and restoration quality. This is not simply another Staggerwing. It is the Last Staggerwing.
